 * Hi there, I don’t know if I’m in the right forum but here it goes.
 * I am translating a WordPress theme from English to French. The theme uses the“
   n()” function witch establishes the single/plural form based on a numeric value.
   I have an issue with the single/plural form since in English, the plural form
   is used for zero, but in French, the single form is used instead.
 * Now the translation is used in a cart items content. So I guess the “n()” function
   is the one to use, but “n()” will return plural for zero.
 * What should I be looking into to fix this.
 * Thanks

 * You might be better speaking to the theme developer directly about this but bear
   in mind that no semi-automated translation system is ever going to produce perfect
   results for every language.

 * ok… the theme developper said to come in here since the funciton is being used
   correctly.
 * Maybe someone can tell me where the function is define so I can hack it in some
   way ?
 * Thanks
